Teignbridge CVS
Teignbridge CVS was established in 1981 to support the local community action by working with voluntary and community organisations and groups to improve their effectiveness and sustainability.  In practice this includes organising affordable learning opportunities to meet local needs, the provision of a substantial fundraising advice service, offering a range of support and information to new and existing groups, dealing with a wide range of enquiries on all aspects of running a voluntary organisation and the provision of a variety of publications and bulletins for members of the CVS (see membership link).

The CVS hosts Teignbridge Volunteer Centre which recruits and places people who want to volunteer with organisations that need them.  The CVS also provides a voice for the sector through local/regional forums and networks. It provides a focus for the development of strategic initiatives that affect voluntary groups in Teignbridge, including partnerships with statutory bodies.

Teignbridge CVS is a member of:
NAVCA, the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, Volunteering England and National Council of Voluntary Organisations.
